...lobbying. Douglas Fraser, the president of the U. A.W. and a director-elect of Chrysler, protests that a wage freeze is ridiculous. Still, the freeze seems to have a good chance of passing. Even if it fails, the Senate bill will differ markedly from the Administration-designed aid package soon going before the House. There is not much time to resolve the differences. Congress aims to recess by Dec. 21, and probably will not convene before Jan. 22. Chrysler has warned that if it does not get aid by St. Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, bankruptcy will strike...
There is little chance, however, that Canada will soon raise its net oil sales to the U.S., now a rather modest 100,000 bbl. a day, (vs. 425,000 bbl. from Mexico). Dedicated to energy independence and fearful that conventional oil will decline in spite of the recent finds, Canada is not even fully exploiting Alberta's capacity of 1.8 million bbl. a day. Says Mitchell Sharp, the commissioner of Canada's Northern Pipeline Agency: "The U.S. should drop any ideas it might have about a North American energy common market...
...straight man, Zeppo joined Chico (who died in 1961), Harpo (1964) and Groucho (1977) in five classic films, but he tired of his role and left the group after the release of Duck Soup in 1933. "He was a lousy actor," grouched Groucho, "and he got out as soon as he could."

His marriages (one to the current Mrs. Frank Sinatra), gambling sprees and occasional public scraps kept him in the limelight when Hollywood no longer...
...surplus of ivory coming out of the Congo prompted the Belgian government to offer the material free to sculptors. Many accepted, and the ivory statuette soon stood tall in the art deco movement. Isadora Duncan by Alberto Savinio (Franco Maria Ricci; 184 pages; $125) shows just how exquisite some of these miniature sculptures became. All works pictured here were inspired, in one way or another, by the blithe spirit of American Dancer Isadora Duncan. Artists like Demeter Chiparus and Friederich Preiss, whose names are familiar today only to collectors, shaped ivory as if it were butter; the dancing figures they...
...Soon thereafter, The Black Stallion's real story begins, and so do the movie's difficulties. The young hero Alec (Kelly Reno) and the black stallion, sole survivors of the wreck, are washed up on a deserted and terribly picturesque beach. There they carry out a lengthy and teasing courtship that manages to merge the sentimentality of Lassie with the homoeroticism of Equus. Alec and the stal lion find food for each other, watch sun sets together and finally celebrate their relationship in a wild ride along the shore. Once the pah- are rescued and reach Alec...
